## Description

The band in your hand - Create custom backing tracks instantly

Chordbot lets you create and play chord progressions in different styles easily. Just add chords, select instrument tracks and hit play.

Experiment with complex chord progressions without having to master an instrument or music theory first. Great for songwriting experiments or to create your own backing tracks for instrument practice. Easily create arrangements and mixes by selecting from hundreds of piano, guitar, synth, bass and drum tracks.

This is the full version of Chordbot with all features enabled. There is also a free evaluation version  (Chordbot Lite) with disabled save/export features that you could/should try before buying the paid version.

Features: 

* 60+ chord types
Including classics like AugAdd2 and Min7(#11), in all inversions.

* 70+ comping style presets
Simple but usable arrangements that won't get in your way.

* 400+ instrument tracks
Individually mixable dynamic instrument tracks that can be combined to form unique comping styles.

* Inversion control / slash chords
Manually select chord inversions, or let Chordbot select the smoothest inversion automatically.

* Song sections
Songs can be structured into repeatable sections (verse, chorus, etc). Each section can have its own comping style/arrangement.

* MIDI/WAV export and background playback
Refine your compositions in a DAW/MIDI sequencer or play along with a virtual instrument

* Song-O-Matic
Automatic song generator with pop, jazz and experimental profiles.

## Review summary

Chordbot is widely praised for its portable, intuitive chord-sketching, expansive MIDI export to DAWs, and broad style/instrument options. Users value its quick workflow and long-term usefulness for practice and inspiration. However, multiple reviews note stability problems (crashes and data loss) and saving/exporting reliability issues, along with concerns about update frequency and missing features. Overall, it’s a strong, affordable tool for idea generation and groundwork, but stability and feature updates would boost confidence for longer-term use.

- Strong MIDI export and easy DAW workflow (works with GarageBand and other DAWs)
- Wide variety of styles, instruments, and loops that support experimentation and composition
- Great for practice, inspiration, and quickly laying down backing tracks across devices (iPhone/iPad)
- Good value and long-term usefulness, with many positive notes from years of use

### Cons

- Stability issues including crashes, glitches, and occasional data loss that can reset work
- Saving/exporting reliability problems (difficulty saving multiple songs, occasional inability to save or export)
